when did your lo start sleeping through the night

my lo is 3months old (1.5 months adjusted) he weighs just about 10lbs and is eating anywhere from 2-4oz every 2-4 hours. i hear some parents of premiees never have a problem with their lo sleeping mostly thru the night but mine is up anywhere from 3-5 times a night. he wont sleep flat (we have him in a rock n sleeper) so he hasnt spent much time in his crib... im mostly wondering when your lo started sleeping more, what age and any tips. he typically sleeps more if hes held (which is a habit dad and i dont wanna be doing at 30lbs) tia

My preemie is a second child so routine is very difficult to achieve. She wakes up once to eat during the night and she is 13 lbs, 7.5 months old (5 months adjusted). My 2 year old did not sleep through the night until 18 months and she did have all the bells and whistles of a routine (still does). Point being, yes, routines are a great way to signal sleep (we will be moving her to crib soon) but the baby has a say also. Temperament dictates a lot!

I'm not gonna lie... 17 months. We created a lot of bad habits because of her premurity. Key is getting ur baby to fall asleep on his or her own without u holding him or her. Trust me you don't want to go over a year a half without a decent night of sleep.

My twins were 5 weeks premature and started sleeping through the night at 7 weeks and 9 weeks. They came home from the hospital at 2 weeks old. They were up very frequently and it occurred to me that they had their days/nights mixed up so when I started waking them to make sure they ate every 2-2.5 hours during the day they slept longer stretches at night. After they got their days/nights worked out I fed more by demand. Also, I'd get started on getting him to sleep in his crib. It will be harder when he gets older.
